This program is a fun, full skill developing program that focuses on skills that are not always taught in team practices. This is one of our most popular seasonal programs at OHA and this year we have limited space. We cover all types of skating techniques from edge work to stride control, power skating and proper skating stance. We incorporate that with stick handling/puck control drills focusing on quick/soft hands and learning how to control the puck with and without pressure in game situations. The last portion of the session we do several up tempo drills where we combine skating, stick handling and shooting and of course a fun scrimmage at the end.
